Cataracts

Some things that may make you think that you have cataracts include blurry vision and seeing halos around lights.

They will pay in limited circumstances, such as if you had cataract surgery.

located within the rear surface of the lens. This common type of cataract occurs in the elderly as "senile cataract" or at any age after chronic intraocular inflammations or prolonged steroid drug use.

The question has been changed from glasses to lenses since I answer. The second poster is absolutely correct regarding lenses. Yes it is legal to sell crazy type glasses at a costume shop and it's up to the consumer to use this product just for the event they are going too. If the consumer tries the glasses on and doesn't like the feeling or can't see properly then they have the option of not wearing them. Don't buy them. Don't wear them. These are contact lenses that make your eyes look like a smiley face, cats eyes or whatever. A guy I work with bought a pair and he got bad infections in both eyes. The doctor told him that the lenses were OK to wear, just not for extended periods of time. He also suggested never to wear these to bed, because they don't allow the surface of the eye to breathe and can glue themselves to the eyeball.

A cataract is the clouding of the lens of the eye.

no

It gets reabsorbed into your system although it can take some time to happen.

There are no eye drops that work for cataracts, there was a product on the market that was RX only then you could by it from a vet pharmacy without RX online the price was 120.00 but it did nothing, I was the fool who tried it. My dog is blind from cataracts, my dog is a diabetic and blind. All I can really do is use Systane eye drops 3 X week for dryness and keep an eye out for any redness in the whites of eyes.

Check with the nurse when you make the appointment to see what you need to do. Quite possibly you don't need to do anything. If you have already asked and have forgotten the details, call them again. They would rather have you do the right thing.

The procedure is used to treat cataracts.Cryotherapy is performed to remove the clouding protein matter from the lens. If left untreated, cataracts may eventually cause blindness

Yes they do ,they die due to not being able to see when diving for fish

Yes. Smoke all the weed and avoid cataract surgery

The alternative treatment for cataracts is surgical cataract removal.There are no medications, dietary supplements, exercises, or optical devices that have been shown to prevent or cure cataracts.

Increased glare from lights, especially oncoming headlights when driving at night.

Basically, if you could wear contacts before LASIK you can wear them afterwards if needed. There are some people who have LASIK because they cannot wear contacts and this is not necessarily going to be helped by LASIK. Also, some people who wear hard or gas permeable contact lenses are not able to wear them as well because the "dome" of the cornea is changed and the lenses will not center well. Finally, if there is some irregular astigmatism caused by the LASIK which is rare, then soft contact lenses will not fully restore the vision. For most people who have LASIK, they are able to go back to contact lens wear if needed after the healing period is completed.

You should wait at least six months after your corneal flap will completely adhere to the surface of the eye. The vast majority of patients do not need to wear contact lenses after Lasik. There are some conditions where contacts may be helpful or favourable after laser vision correction procedure. In Conclusion, if you could use contacts comfortably before procedure, it will not be a problem for you to use them again after Lasik.

Standard cataract surgerywith a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) in the United States is covered by Medicare and most insurances. What is not included is some of the testing, the post-op refraction (exam for eyeglasses), and the additional fee for an "advanced IOL" (also known as "premium" IOLs, multifocal IOLs, presbyopia-correcting IOLs, pseudo-accommodating IOLs, toric IOLs etc.). The purpose of these advanced IOLs is to limit your need for glasses after surgery. If you don't care about wearing bifocals or trifocals or reading glasses after surgery, then the monofocal IOL covered by most insurance should be fine for you.

For someone who does not have insurance, the following is a typical breakdown:

Surgeon's fee: $1,700-$4,200
Surgery Center fee: $1,000-$2,000
Anesthesiologist's Fee: $300-$600
Additional Testing: $0-$1,200
Advanced IOL: $150-$1,000

Total Cost Range: $3,000-$9,000 (per eye, depending on IOL choice)

There are almost literally no "clinical" cases of anything ever cured by homeopathy. It has repeatedly and universally been shown in clinical studies to have no effect beyond that of a placebo.

No. Your eyes will stay the same size all your life. Crying can make the eyelids swell, though, which might make the eye look smaller.

yes, this is common and all doctors will tell you that after surgery for a epiretinal membrane you will very likely need cataract surgery.

Ultraviolet radiation

After cataract surgery, it's generally recommended to wait at least 24 hours before showering. This precaution helps avoid getting water in your eye, which could increase the risk of infection. However, you should consult your surgeon for specific guidelines, as recovery protocols can vary based on individual circumstances and surgical techniques. Always follow your doctor's advice for the best recovery outcome.

It turns straight into a gas. Hope this helps :-)

The muscles in your eye are contracting and relaxing, instinctively attempting to refocus the lens.
